I've been meaning to add a debug console to my game for a while now, turns out It took about 2 lines of code to actually get one working! I highly, highly recommend the LimboConsole addon for #Godot . This thing rules! #devlog #gamedev #indiedev

Turns out the crash in that last video wasn't really a crash, it was just running checks on 28,000+ tiles all at once, when at most 200 tiles even exist. Thank God(ot) for the profiler, it made troubleshooting this one a breeze #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Enemies will now path to the nearest building when none are in range! The game is teetering on the edge of having "gameplay", tbh it's a bit scary to think about #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Finally got enemy turns working! (mostly at least. Next up, I'll need to give them something to do when there's no target in their threatened area) #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

More bugfixing done! Now I just need to figure out why the enemy disappears Sometimes-But-Not-Every-Time #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I'm still hammering out issues with enemy AI, but I added threat ranges too! Pretty sure it's actually picking the best moves now as well #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Enemy AI (and animation!) is working!! Every move below is computer controlled and animating correctly! #wishlistwednesday #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

I'm keeping it in! It'll need to be tuned in the future, but I've given it a negative score on shots that'll hit friends. Hopefully that means it'll mostly not blow itself up, but it'll still be on the table if that leads to massive value. (ie: blowing itself up if that's the only way to hit 2 guys)

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I'm super close to having a working version of enemy AI! The movement animations are still a little broken, but all the actions below are fully automated! Don't forget to wishlist on Steam <3 store.steampowered.com/app/3626080/... #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #Godot #gamedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Kind of! Currently it doesn't think about self preservation at all, so it'll occasionally blow itself up if that'll hit the most tiles. Originally I actually had it scoring extra points by hitting any unit, including itself, which lead to a lot of silly results.

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

I got the first version of enemy turns working! In the clip, the 2-4 isolated dots show the 2 "best" combinations of moving + shooting. ie: the ones that hit the most building tiles, always hitting a player unit if one is in range. #wishlistwednesday #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

I fried my brain with too much programming today, I think the normal way to refer to this is "gravity"

Added tile dropping! Now AOE attacks will cause higher floors to fall onto the ground below. #devlog #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Oh, and here's another view! The 3D models are never actually used in game, I just think it's neat to see it from other angles.

I crocheted this Kirby for a friend's birthday! I think this is the first amigurumi I've done without a pre-written pattern? He's about 90% orb though, so pretty darn easy to freehand. #crochet #amigurumi

I slapped some new shaders on the attack targeting highlight. I'll probably keep fiddling with the colours for the next eternity or two, but the overall effect is looking pretty good now! #godot #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

I'm slightly-shifting my game's name over to "Metropolis Gear: Tactical City-Building Action"! I think it sounds just a bit better than Metrogear. Plus, the old name was meant as an homage to a certain game that won't be named, but maybe it was a Bit Too Close. #devlog #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

They start as 3D models (made in MagicaVoxel), but in game they're normal mapped 2D sprites.

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Combat systems are really coming together! The in-world damage text in particular was shockingly easy to implement for how cool it looks! Don't forget to wishlist my game if you can <3 steampowered.com/app/3626080 #godot #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

1133

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

In-world damage text is in! It won't take long to add letters to this system as well, I'd just need to take a couple days to grind out 26+ characters (+ an eternity to deal with the localization issues it'll cause) #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev #voxelart #magicavoxel

0113

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

The in-world text parser is working! (+ a quick animation!) The only issue is that the only sprite I have is a "0", so at best it can only parse some Beach Boys melodies. #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

"Of course I'm not making my own normal-lit sprite font, that would be silly" - I say, making a 0 "just to test". Feature Creep watches on, sharpening his already very sharp knives which he's also already stabbing me with #devlog #madeingodot #Godot #gamedev #indiedev #magicavoxel

0133

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Range indicators and shot animation are in! I reused some of the pathfinding code for shots, as a side effect attacks can support funky pathing to their target. Not sure if that'll be used often, but it's a fun bonus option I wasn't planning for! #devlog #madeingodot #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Legally speaking, I think I've finally got enough features to call this "Gaming" #devlog #madeingodot #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Huh, turns out being able to generate a usable game world in 1 click is a great time saver. Before yesterday, I was sort-of painting each island onto the map. #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

This seems like a really good idea! You're encouraging more interactions when everyone is aiming for the middle, which also leads to somewhere just outside the middle being appealing as well, if you're looking to avoid an immediate smash and play the long game

010

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

I found almost nothing, though it was entered in another trailer contest around a year ago, so the dev at least seems pretty committed!

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

The worst part was that even after the TileMaps were fixed, I just had to fix errors as the compiler ran into them, without any sign of how many might be left until the game runs again I'd still highly recommend it, the new features rule. Intellisense suggesting custom classes/functions is the best

110

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

I had tons of issues with the update, though that was partly because my whole game is based on TileMaps, which were entirely reworked between 3 and 4. Maybe 80% of the work was rewriting anything TileMap related, the rest was mostly 1-by-1 replacing changed functions (ie: String(x) is now str(x))

110

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

The update from Godot 3 to Godot 4 is all done! Got sidetracked for a bit while testing out the new y-sort ordering features to make these animations, but now everything works again! (including some nasty looking devtools) #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Attacking and tile highlighting are working again! Now I just have 1 tool to fix before everything that broke in the upgrade from Godot 3 to 4 is fixed! Super worthwhile tho, since now I can do z-axis animations! #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Pathfinding is working again! Mostly, at least. Still gotta clean up a bunch of code, but we're quickly approaching feature parity with the previous engine version! #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev

0122

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Back to recovering from the Godot 4 upgrade today, and I finally got characters displaying again! Pathing needs to be redone, but it's just nice to see the boys back #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Cleaned up the code for 3D impacts, now they can begin on any layer and propagate Up And Down! I was so excited to get the effect working last time that I forgot to check if it works correctly when centered off the ground. #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev
